Momma and baby spend quality time together at the Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction in Walt Disney World. This mom is very lucky; she can watch her young even while “on the job” at the attraction. The job doesn’t pay much, but the benefits are amazing! #africanelephant #kilimanjarosafaris #childcare

Bloody Shame
We had been looking forward to dining in one of our favorite restaurants in French Polynesia, if not in the whole world. Signs filled on both sides with names of actors, singers, world leaders, and other celebrities still lined the entrance, but the interior seemed disheveled and in decay. It had the appearance of tragedyContinue reading “Bloody Shame”
Captain Cook and His Telescopes
A life-sized figure of Captain Cook greeted us at the Reva Reva bungalow at Rohotu Fare in Bora Bora recently. We had brought along a spyglass telescope representative of Cook’s era that was then wrapped with thin rope made from local plant fibers to provide a comfortable grip.

Finally, I took its photo and the online app identified it as a juvenile red-shouldered hawk. We have lots of these hawks in our neighborhood, butContinue reading “Little Red Riding-hawk”
Home Sweet Home
Made of twigs and Spanish moss, it is a sweet home for a lady cardinal whose orange beak can be seen near the center of the image. She was a pleasant surprise as we settled into our own “nest” after a prolonged absence. #homesweethome #cardinal #nest #homecoming
Slipping Through My Fingers
Though we did not want to see our time in Bora Bora come to a close, we could not be very sad since we had enjoyed such a wonderful time while there. And even though we cannot stop the flow of time, we can caress the moments as they slip through our fingers and moldContinue reading “Slipping Through My Fingers”
The Next Post
What to write, what to write? Gee, if only there were something interesting in this bungalow to inspire a topic for the next post…or maybe if there weren’t so many amazing things, it would be easier to decide. #post #bungalow #inspriation
